Computers, while abundant prior to the calamity, have fallen out of daily usage by most of the population. With most citizens busy with day to day life providing necessities and the lack of internet, the computer hasn't seem to be needed for a daily routine. The scarcity of parts for repair as well as the technical knowledge to maintain computers means that there are only a small number of them in working condition. These are prioritized to areas where the aid of computers greatly assists the work being done. These include government record keeping, data archival and scientific research.
The computers are primarily put together from scavenged parts. While it is easy to come across a computer while scavenging, decades of looters, animals and the environment has damaged most parts beyond repair. Time is also a factor as the aging of parts is an irreversible factor and once parts such as hard drives burn out or get damaged, there is no way to repair them. The computer technicians are working with a finite resource as the capabilities of producing new parts is impossible with the industry of the Bay.
